1 Thank you for considering Twin Valleys Outdoor Education Center for your Adirondack experience. We re happy to offer you this guide and hope it will assist you when planning your event at Twin Valleys. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us anytime we re here to help! A Little History College Auxiliary Services (CAS) has owned and operated Twin Valleys Outdoor Education Center in Westport, New York since Originally the property was known as that place down in Lewis but with the help of Dr. Charles Smith and the Mohawk Native language the property was named Tiwa-ya-ee, meaning two valleys. Tiwa-ya-ee sounded a bit like Twin Valleys and the name remained. Twin Valleys has served as a field campus for Plattsburgh State University instructional programs, student group activities and informal recreational activities. The facility was developed as an institutional resource because students and faculty believed an outdoor education center would enhance the academic and personal learning experience of future generations. Twin Valleys is unique in its beauty, seclusion and location. Nestled in the heart of the Adirondacks, Twin Valleys is home to a two-acre pond, main lodge, twelve cabins, a low ropes course, color-coded trails and over 650 glorious acres of Adirondack beauty! Twin Valleys is open from April to October, weather permitting. Who may reserve Twin Valleys? Any Plattsburgh State recognized group in good standing may use the camp. These groups include but are not limited to; social and academic clubs and organizations, faculty, staff or departmental groups, etc. Community groups may use the camp if the stay is related to an educational program, conference, training, workshop, etc. The Handicapped at Twin Valleys In the past, handicapped individuals have enjoyed Twin Valleys. Most of Twin Valleys property remains wild and undeveloped. Thus, accommodating nonambulatory individuals may be difficult. Twin Valleys lacks paved trails or handicapped accessible toilet or shower facilities.

2 Planning Your Twin Valleys Trip Scheduling College Auxiliary Services schedules all Twin Valleys visits and will verify if your desired date is available. Please contact CAS at , or toll free to schedule your visit. Twin Valleys Reservation Forms For any on or off campus groups, one person shall be named as the principal contact and must provide contact information and sign the reservation form and terms and conditions contract. The principal contact (and advisor if an on campus student group) are responsible for the following: Signing all required forms (reservation and terms and conditions contract, etc.) Notifying CAS regarding any changes to the group s reservation, including arrival and departure times Adhering to arrival and departure times Must be among the first to arrive and prepared to meet with the camp manager at the schedule arrival time for camp orientation. Responsible in communicating rules and regulations to other group members Responsible for the conduct of the individuals in the group Responsible for the timely submission of all paper work (usually within 7 days) Your reservation is for the area(s) indicated on your reservation form and does not imply use of other buildings or areas. Please keep in mind a variety of groups may be using the camp. Canceling Your Trip If you need to cancel your trip please contact CAS immediately or within 5 business days, so that campers on the waiting list may be contacted Off Campus Group Insurance All off campus groups must attach a copy of a Certificate of Insurance to their reservation form. This is a simple matter and requires you to call your insurance carrier, ask for a certificate of insurance (usually one page) and name College Auxiliary Services as an additional beneficiary to your current group policy. Without insurance off campus groups will not be permitted to use Twin Valleys. Arrival and Departure Times Arrival A one-hour window is set for arrival so that the Twin Valleys gate can be opened and our camp manager can conduct camp orientation with the principal contact. If you arrive outside the specified arrival hour the gate may be closed and the camp manager must be called to allow entry. Should your arrival

3 or departure dates or times change please contact CAS at during regular business hours (Mon. Fri. 8:00 AM 4:00 PM); after 4:00 PM, on weekends or holidays contact the camp manager at Departure Please contact the camp manager at , one hour prior to your departure. Gates and Buildings Gates and buildings are locked and unlocked according to arrival and departure dates and times of groups.

5 Tenting There are several areas for tenting, the meadow directly in front of the Main Lodge and the upper meadow. Please check with the camp manager for alternative sites. Please remember when tenting: Build fires only in provided fire pits Provide your own dishes and cooking utensils for campfire cooking Make certain all fires are completely extinguished; never leave a warm fire pit under any circumstances. All camping at Twin Valleys is low impact, remove all refuse Lean-tos There are three lean-tos located on the color coded trails. Please refer to the trial map for their locations. Each lean-to sleeps up to 6 and has one fire pit. Fire Pits There are two fire pits in the Main Lodge area; one in the cabin area and one in the upper meadow. In addition, there are fire pits at each lean-to. Please use universal precautions in starting and extinguishing campfires at all times. (See campfire posting in Main Lodge). Adhere to any open fire restrictions set by the authorities and/or the camp managers (signs will be posted). Hiking Trails Color coded hiking maps are available at the Main Lodge in the Twin Valleys Handbook. There are three color coded trails totaling approximately 9.50 miles; red trail 3.75 miles, yellow trail 2.55 miles and blue trail 3.33 miles. Please be sure to keep track of hikers departure and return times. Orienteering Course Orienteering is often called the thinking sport because it involves map reading and decision-making in addition to a great workout. It is for all ages and degrees of fitness and skill and provides the suspense and excitement of a treasure hunt. The object of orienteering is to locate control points by using a map and compass to navigate through the woods. Orienteering is a sport for everyone, regardless of age or experience. The competitive athlete can experience the exhilaration of moving through the woods at top speed, while the non-competitive orienteer can enjoy the forest at a more leisurely pace. If you love maps, exploring, and the great outdoors, try orienteering. You'll be hooked for life! Using the Orienteering Course is explained in handouts at the Main Lodge located in the Twin Valleys handbook and does not require a facilitator. Compasses are provided. Please be sure the compasses are returned to the proper storage.

6 The Cutting Pavillion Twin Valleys has one of the few true dark night skies in this region allowing for clear and vibrant viewing of our solar system through the 20 telescope housed in the small observatory building. Using the Observatory requires instruction from an approved SUNY Plattsburgh Physics and Chemistry Department faculty member. For further information please contact the Director of Properties. Pond Use Twin Valleys has a two-acre pond that attracts various forms of wildlife; fish, frogs, herons, ducks, Canadian geese and snapping turtles have all been spotted at the pond. Twin Valleys pond is an important part of the property and is an integral part of its peaceful beauty. Pond use at Twin Valleys is at your own risk. We recommend campers do not use the pond for activities because of the aquatic wildlife and thick silty bottom. In addition, pond water is not treated, campers should be aware that intentional or accidental use (i.e.; stepping in the water) could be harmful. In addition, if campers were to use the pond, groups are responsible for providing a certified lifeguard for all water activities. Twin Valleys Equipment (all equipment may not be available) Volleyball Various board games Playing cards Projector Screen Tables Chairs Picnic Tables Hiking Maps Orienteering Maps and Compasses (enough for 4 groups) Food Campus Dining s catering department will be happy to cater your event at Twin Valleys. To arrange for catering, please contact the catering department at or catering@plattsburgh.edu. Campers may bring and cook their own food if desired.

7 What to Bring Suggestions These are just suggestions, bring items that will help you feel most comfortable. Remember you re roughin it, we guarantee you ll love it! Overnight Campers Sleeping bag or sheets and blankets Pillow Towel Personal Toiletries Shower shoes Overnight and Day Use Campers No matter what the season or your length of stay - always dress in layers. Remember you re in a higher elevation and nights tend to be chilly even in summer or early fall. Dress Warmly! Wool is best when considering clothing any clothing that keeps you warm and safe from the elements Layer your clothing you can always take it off. Cotton or silk long underwear (Clothing that can be layered, such as a T-shirt, long underwear, long sleeved shirt, wool sweater, coat) Boots Extra shoes Wool Socks Wool Hat Scarf Mittens (these are better than gloves) Sneakers (for inside use) Coat Rain gear Flashlight or lanterns Bug spray Bringing jeans to wear outside is okay but not recommended. Jeans take forever to dry out when they get wet and can feel very cold and clammy! If you have fabric pants, such as khakis or corduroys or pants with a heavier fabric (such as wool pants), you might consider bringing these for outdoor use. Also an extra pair of shoes is advised as ground conditions can be wet in the woods and fields.
